Title: Quote Linking?
Post by: sudgy on November 19, 2014, 11:18:57 pm
Is there any way to make a quote link to anywhere you want instead of the original quote?  What about somewhere else on the forum?  Is that possible?

I want to know, for, uh, reasons...

You could do something like this, right?

I assume you could modify the time and date as well.

I'm wanting to link to a board, specifically, not a post.

Forum games to catch unsuspecting new forumites?

Closer, but not quite.  I was saying a board, not a thread.

I don't expect it to work, I'm just making sure there wasn't something I'm overlooking.

I don't think you can do boards. Only topics, I believe. See here: http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Quote

I'd glad you worked it out and are using it for the only sensible purpose.

It's not wide enough.

Either you're zoomed out, or you didn't realize that quotes in signatures aren't as wide.  I used the length of Galzria's signature on my screen.

They aren't as wide, but the difference is just like 30 pixels or something like that (didn't actually check, but it looks roughly that much). Your "quote" is less than 50% of the length of Galzria's signature on my screen.

Yeah, you're zoomed out, or your monitor is big.

My resolution is 1920*1080. I was under the impression that this was pretty normal.

I also see it like Awaclus does. Sudgy, your image looks like it's from a tiny screen.

Sudgy's monitor size is his age.  He gets an upgrade every year.  Once he finishes college, he'll see what everyone else does.

You made it as the link to DougZ making a thread about how he was restarting isotropic but was keeping it hidden from Donald.

Maybe Sudgys screen is just far away.....
